 This series is set in King Cross in 1989, where bent cops, straight cops, cool criminals and colourful characters all converged to make their mark. But by 1995 the Wood Royal Commission had put the “black empire” under threat of collapse as strong and honest police fought to take back control of the most infamous strip in Australia.
Underbelly: The Golden Mile stars an ensemble cast including Emma Booth as Kim Hollingsworth, Wil Traval as cop Joe Dooley, Diarmid Heidenreich as cop Eddie Gould, Damian Garvey as detective “Chook” Fowler, and newcomer Firass Dirani as smiling teenage Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim, with further major cast to be announced soon.
The third instalment of the Underbelly series will also feature a number of returning characters, including police played by Paul Tassone, Daniel Roberts and Dieter Brummer, plus Peter O’Brien (as the notorious George Freeman), Georgina Haig (as his wife Georgina) and John McNeil (as crime kingpin Lennie McPherson), who all reprise their roles from Underbelly Series II, A Tale of Two Cities.
Cinematography on the third series is again by Joe Pickering, DP on the original series.
